A Shout Out to My Girlfriends
July 23, 2008
Dear Girlfriends,
I think for any of you who I am addressing this to will automatically know who you are if you are reading this. And sister, it’s a given that you are The Numero Uno Girlfriend of all time, so I include you in this letter.
Girlfriends: I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have you in my life. It has been a truly rough and tumble year for me so far, and the one thing that has brought me some constancy and stability in my life has been the support of my girlfriends. Among my girlfriends I have found unconditional love, advice, guidance, affirmation, nonjudgmental listening, patience, a shoulder to cry on, encouragement, and an endless supply of comfort during trying times. I love you all. So, I shout out to all of you in no particular order:
To The Doctor: I never dreamed I would have someone to love me unconditionally. Real love was always waiting for me at home, even when we were just typical sibling rivals. You have become my best friend and my confidant. You are the only one that knows how to make me laugh and cry at the same time. I can’t believe how much we have grown and matured together. Thank you for always supplying me with a hot meal, a comfortable bed, and a listening ear whenever it’s needed. I love you, sis. For all the complaining I do sometimes, our parents must have done something right.
La Abogada: Te quiero mucho! You listen to me without judgment and ALWAYS offer me sound advice. I feel like I can tell you anything. Thank you for encouraging me to follow my heart and not to completely lead with my head. Gracias por la vida.
To The Investigator: What can I say, but you are my homegirl that shares with me the mystery of life and the third eye. You always keep it real and look out for my best interests, and I deeply appreciate that. Tom Boys For Life!
To The One that Showed me To The Light House: Thank you for opening the door for me and introducing me to a world of freedom. You really are a beacon of light and I thank you for helping me confront my own shadows and demons with love and compassion.
To My Neighboring Colombiana: What a gift you are and what a blessing it has been to get closer! I am so lucky to have a friend like you. Thank you for helping me keep my chin up during challenging times and for being the best listener. Thank you for managing to make me crack up at how insane life can be.
To My Mystic Friend: I thank God for you, and I thank God for your father for bringing us back together again. He sure knew what he was doing. The journey is just beginning, so fasten your seat belt.
And To The Three Mamas: Thank you for continuing to hold me in your prayers, for constantly sending me light, and for teaching me strength and wisdom. Yes, we are friends for life. Thank you for modelling what it means to be truly the strongest mothers I’ve ever known. I deeply respect you.
Loving You Always,
Me
